Did you read the article? Here's the offensive, vile, disgusting, filthy racist joke that Nazi KKK Fascist White Supremacist said:
********
"The singer, who was born and raised in the southern state of Florida, said the concert had an “antebellum” feel to it, of the sort associated with Gone With the Wind and other rose-tinted representations of the pre-Civil War south.
In response Mobley says that Halls “apologised on behalf of England”, before putting on an exaggerated southern accent and joking: “Do you want some grits?”, in a reference to the ground corn dish popular in the south.
“I’m from the deep south and Matthew often makes fun of the southern accent just as I often make fun of his British accent,” said Mobley. “Race was not an issue. He was imitating a southern accent, not putting on a black accent, and there was nothing racist or malicious about it.”
But the singer suspects that a white woman who overheard their conversation and spoke to him moments later went on to report it to the university, alleging Halls had made a racist joke."
*******
OMG HE ASKED A BLACK GUY IF HE WANTS SOME GRITS!!!!
Seriously though, where would we be as a society today if we didn't have brave white social justice warriors like the woman who started this whole mess to take offense to racial humor on behalf of actual minorities?
I have relatives who are of Puerto Rican descent, and the stuff we've joked about on a variety of topics over the years would make white SJWs' collective heads explode here in 2017.
